Tires Falken or Sailun

Have about 2-3 foot of snow in Eastern NC today (still falling) and snow mode did fantastic on my WK2 with Wildpeak AT3W’s

I put Falken Aklimates on the 20's on my baby mom's. They are beyond awesome. I had to go to work this past Sunday during the worst of the snow (we got 14" by that evening when I left) and it made it through without a hiccup.

Can't recommend them enough.

Falken Wildpeak AT Trails are awesome. Great all around tire! Quiet too. Have them on my 22 GCL

For a Corolla, mixing one odd tire isn't the end of the world, but if you've already got one Sailun on there, paying the extra $100 to make all four match is usually worth it just for consistent grip and braking especially since you're in NJ and see winter nastiness. Sailuns aren't fancy but they're totally fine for daily driving

Falken AT4W’s are absolute tanks, loving them so far. They also look much more aggressive than they feel or sound which is a win win for aesthetics / highway

Falkon Wildpeaks (I love this tire)

I\u2019ve never ever been let down by a set of falken wildpeak at3ws. All season tire so you don\u2019t have to have a dedicated set. Very smooth on the highway for an at tire, available in 10 ply for towing or extreme use, little extra meat on them for when you do go off-road and do fantastic in the snow.

I’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.

What I’ve noticed:

Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.

However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.

If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.

My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.

I bought a set of Sailluns several years ago because they were a couple of hundred cheaper than name brand tires. I had them a week and the tire shop tried to balance them twice and they still shook like crazy. Tire shop ended up putting Kumhos on my van for free because of the trouble I had with the cheap tires. I quit buying cheap tires after that.

run as fast as you can from the Falken tires. mine were absolute shit
